What were you thinking when you suggested that Thor could be a universal miller?

I didn't. At all. It seemed to me that you were suggesting he SHOULD be, and that because he wasn't, he was scum. It was la la land shit, man.

Well, I am not suggesting that since he's a universal miller and that since he's not, he's scum. I am suggesting his claim is bullshit.

The only thing that makes any sense so far, is that he would show up as miller to a role cop, and be town since scum-miller is lolzy. But then why say not regular cop, why not just be clear and say role-cop.

@Elle:

Wow - I completely missed that. I didn't associate "How's that help your read of my roleclaim?" with "My vote on you is serious now." (even though there's a line space; the brain misses these things at times). This is how I read the entire post:
Spoiler: Thor's original post
Also, seriously, my rolename will help you quantify the validity of the rather normal and pointed claim of 'Miller'?

Uh...no, it doesn't work like that with a Miller claim.

Sure, if I'd claimed ' post restricted 3-shot day vig hormonal sociopath' and then *didn't* nameclaim Caetlyn, okay, sure, maybe you have something going.
But Miller? Meh - there's only about EVERY FREAKIN' CHARACTER who is shades of gray in this series, so...yeah, I don't think it would help you do jack.

My vote on you is serious now.
How's that help your read of my roleclaim?
- Start off with a question
- Explain why your logic doesn't work
- Reinforce with question again
Thor's accusation of a misrep makes a lot more sense now.

Ah. I guess the wording "rolefishing" was wrong usage on my part since Thor had already claimed Miller - "flavour fishing" then - and flavour fishing is not an accusation as scummy since I've seen both curious and skeptical townies do it.

The last point about me not asking a question; It's not as if you wouldn't have replied irrespective of whether or not I added a "?" at the end.

@Quadz:

- Based on my reads, you knew what I thought on about a quarter of the playlist. Sure you may not have reasoning backing them up but it is content.
-
why does the vote on you matter more?
Because it's a vote on me?


@Nautilius:
Thank you for 473. I still don't have a read on you - but that's the best "defense of ooba" post I've seen in quite a while.
Addn: Slight town read for 484 - exactly what I was thinking after -
"This quadz wagon is lame. ooba is better. elle is town."
- Amrun's voting me? Scroll up to VC - nope.

I'm down for a D1 policy lynch. I don't get why Thor says site meta he's confirmed town??? Because he opened claiming.. so? Faraday himself has had scum partners open claiming miller, and then go onto win. So opening while, optimal site strategy (i guess in MD)... doesn't prove jack shit.

Its D1... lets do it.

unvote vote Thor


@Thor
why did you have Casso as a Upick, and was he your first pick?

I feel like you sort of extracted the whole 'Thor would read everything' belief from wholecloth, yes/no?

Oh, wait, are you accussing me of claiming that the mod didn't reveal the existence or lack thereof of multiball in my Miller PM?
Because that seems pretty normal really.

2. Why wouldn't I pick Casso, he's one of the kings and will clearly soon sit the Seastone Chair.

Probably one scum is going to be willing to lob his cantaloupes into the ring and push on me a bit - care to explain how I'm scum for claiming a belief about site meta?

Obviously.

I think that Elle thing is town now.
Painfully newb, but at least unlike the other newbs here, managing to seep out some town vibes.

I may be down with the ooba lulz wagon, but I'll admit the copping to the misrep actually feels townish. Ooba is certainly skilled enough that might be a feint to the growing pressure...but my gut kind of says town on that one too, so I think we can do better.

Where does site meta say to treat you as confirmed town? For claiming D1??? I just fucking showed that is idiotic logic.

Sweet - I never claimed it was logical, all I said was it was site meta to do so.
My evidence is in this thread.
But feel free to go and find me a Day 1 Miller claim where the Miller claimed as part of their first post and was then lynched anytime in the next three days.
I'll wait.
